Today’s Hanji: Current Perspectives from Korea

“Today’s Hanji: Current Perspectives from Korea” is a lecture given by Aimee Lee on Aug 4, 2021, the fourth of five lectures in Dieu Donné’s “Global Perspectives in Hand Papermaking” series. Hanji is Korean paper, and has a nearly milennia-old history of supporting creative, government, military, household, and ritual purposes. Here, you will learn about the techniques behind making hanji alongside stories from the current landscape of papermakers who still labor in obscurity to produce a variety of fine paper that persists today.
